Eliana Maria Ormelezi nos oferece, neste livro – fruto de sua tese de doutorado –, a alegria de sua leitura, principalmente para os profissionais que têm contato com o mundo da cegueira na infância e sentem o desejo de conhecer e compreender como se constitui a subjetividade em uma criança que acessa o mundo por diferentes percepções e requer respostas e acompanhamento adequados desde o início de sua vida.

Por isso, o enfoque proposto a partir deste novo olhar, e que nos ajuda a pensar e a encontrar respostas, é um presente. Na análise da observação participativa de três crianças cega...
Nanostructures for Antimicrobial Therapy discusses the pros and cons of the use of nanostructured materials in the prevention and eradication of infections, highlighting the efficient microbicidal effect of nanoparticles against antibiotic-resistant pathogens and biofilms. Conventional antibiotics are becoming ineffective towards microorganisms due to their widespread and often inappropriate use. As a result, the development of antibiotic resistance in microorganisms is increasingly being reported. New approaches are needed to confront the rising issues related to infectious diseases. The merging of biomaterials, such as chitosan, carrageenan, gelatin, poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) with nan...
